August 2018:

President Trump’s economic adviser, Larry Kudlow, had a publisher over for dinner earlier this month who provides a platform for white nationalists, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Kudlow, who has known Peter Brimelow for decades, said he wasn’t aware that for nearly 20 years Brimelow has run a website, Vdare.com, that promotes white-identity politics. This follows the firing of a Trump speechwriter for appearing at a conference with Brimelow.
